Dublin crowds have been throwing eggs and shoes at former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair as he arrived at Easons in O'Connell Street for a book signing.

Earlier this week, Blair released a copy of his autobiography which revealed his rift with his successor Gordon Brown.

The missiles, which were thrown by anti-war protestors, failed to hit Blair. Gardaí (Irish police) arrested three people at a security barrier outside Easons. It has been revealed that more than 200 protestors demonstrated about his role in the wars this morning.

300 people turned out for Blair's autobiography book signing. A large gardaí presence is in the city, as well as O'Connell Street in Dublin. Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Coalition and the 32-County Sovereignty Movement are being represented in the demonstrations.

Richard Boyd-Barnett, of the Irish Anti-War Movement, said he was making 'blood money' from the memoirs.
